Are we doing anything cool for when this thread hits 100 pages?

Amazing pressure performance, tackling has been brilliant.

Reckon Laurie is a sneaky outside chance for debut?

Pretty effective performance from the Swans.

JVR strikes again?

Ch7 reported just bad bruising and no games missed on the news. Thanks a lot crap nuts

I didn't see any of the pressers but from what I'm reading in here Scott sure sounded pretty outspoken? Saying that we usually have two talls at contests so they did X and then saying that's as good as we have? If I didn't know any better I'd say these are the kinds of comments that don't get forgotten easily..

You're both spot on in my view. The intent was there, the legs weren't.

Really don't think wholesale changes are going to fix things

I don't think the majority of our mis-kicks into the forward line had as much to do with forward structure as it had to do with fatigue and just mechanical error. There were a number times we had open men in the 50 and picked out the Geelong defender.

Throw on top of that the 5 day break after a tough game in Adelaide and the loading, they would understandably be running on fumes in that game.

I just really love this last line.

Yeah could have just been a massive stinger that may swell up a bit but hopefully no bone damage.

I’m going to say this one more time because the inference that I don’t understand the significance or reason WHY we’re wearing the jumper in the first place is getting a bit frustrating. In simple terms: - I love what the jumper stands for and why we wore it, 10 out of 10, 100%, nail on the head, locked on. - However, and this is the key bit of info: I do not like the jumper aesthetically from a personal point of view , that is it. I know it can be hard to separate the two things but if you could try your best that would be much appreciated. I have loved and have owned several indigenous guernseys in the past, they are some of my most cherished items. The Melbourne Football Club, since 1884 has worn these colours 🔴🔵. Geelong wears these colours 🔵⚪. In a game as fast paced as it is these days and the old chestnut of clash strips on slow news days, would you say that there is less chance of clash or more chance of clash if our team decided to wear the following colours? 🔴🔵⚪. Just a simple yes or no. That's my peace, end of story.

That was disappointing when we decided to ignore switches that were on, it was like we didn't want to show them anything that could possibly be changed up.

Cardinal sin of AFL footy. You get one let off, maybe two at most. You can't be doing that there is no excuse whatsoever. As I said before, he's just not seeing anyone in that 50 right now other than goalposts, whether it's deliberate or not..

After Collingwood when I looked ahead at the fixture I felt after what was an obvious required win over Brisbane that we would need to at minimum take a scalp over one of Geelong or Freo. This loss is not the end of the world but we now need to get it done over in Perth in Rd 20 no questions asked. For the remainder of the season, the time in which to get the body of work done goes up until Rd 22 for me. I'm not looking at Rd 23 against the Lions as a blockbuster, I would have preferred to even rest guys and possibly lose Rd 23 up there going into finals. You know when you have to scramble to get all your work done so you can take an annual leave day on the last Friday of the month? That’s what I wanted Rd 23 to be (Within reason, still aim to win but don’t show our hand). So Freo and Carlton are opportunites to put the gap in them up top and we need both of those scalps. Collingwood as well (which could be coming off 9 or 10 wins in a row by that point. The season starts now.

Let's just get Brayshaw done and we have the nucleus. Happy where we sit.

It's certainly not close to my favourite indigenous jumper, looking forward to the next design.

If you're new and just read Demonstone's guide then get a load of tonight's gameday thread as some bedtime reading and learn from a classic display.

I'm ok with you giving Brayshaw 6 actually. Worked his socks off.

Thought Pickett worked harder than most.

I think McStay will be the new Jesse White at the 'flagpies'

Appreciate the NAIDOC week tribute Nev but it's a messy jumper which introduced unnecessary colours into the mix. If clashes and clash strips pop up onto the media agenda again I don't want to hear about it.

I'm sure Langdon was screaming his head off too, this alerts you to look inboard. Kick to him quickly or run closer, draw the opponent in and handball over the top. Easy Joe the Goose goal.
